About

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at age 17. I was only 180 pounds, and I went on insulin within that first year. After trying at least 10 medications and fattening up to a revolting 245 pounds in the next couple of years, I decided that my medication was turning me into a disgusting blob and that I would have no part of it.
I flushed my pills and bought a low-carb cookbook.
I experimented my way from the vegetarian diet, to the Low Carb diet, to a more natural vegetable-heavy diet, to a traditional Asian diet, to the juice diet, to the Paleo diet. Presently, I've shed what I gained and I'm back down to my high school graduation weight, and I'm making progress on other aspects of my health.
I'm not 100% strict Paleo, having a deep love for Japanese white rice, but I do believe wholeheartedly in eating real foods and growing them sustainably.
